Yeah! I really do like it.

Thanks for your help!

There should be an issue date correct?

which picture were you translating? The one in the first or second post?

Yeah if you don’t mind. I tried to google translate it. But that is not great. In fact I’m pretty sure it’s just flat out wrong. Considering it said the sword is 2 armpits in length.

Thanks!

Need to add one more picture

Appreciate the help. If pictures aren’t good please let me know. I can try and retake them when the sun goes down.

Didn’t think of that. It would drastically reduce size. I’ll keep that in mind.

So real antique sword, but fake signature. Which based on that google search is quite common with this smith?

looks like I've exceeded the filesize limits for posts, and i cant upload here. I put them on a google drive and opened it up to anyone with a link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/111UlSaoUkIlU8ibqnCbwherBuhWOMoYF?usp=sharing

I took pictures as best I could (not a professional photographer)

If I can take some good blade photos I will post them.

These do look wildly different ☹️. I think I've been had. This was my first purchase and I guess I’ll just have to eat this mistake and learn from it. Never buy anything with a signature that doesn’t have papers. I guess one thing I can be thankful for. This was less than $1K so I didn’t get taken for that much.
